Wednesday Worship
In many ways, Simon Peter is a hero of the New Testament, the rock on which Jesus built the church. But he also got it wrong. A lot. And the gospel writers didn't shy away from presenting his story as one that not only had triumphs, but also fear and confusion, falterings and flaws. Join us Wednesday nights at 6:35 in the chapel as we explore his story and consider how it can inform our own.
This week's message will be "
Inconvenient Savior, Reluctant Follower," by
Rev. Ben Richards.

The Celebration Continues...
On August 25, please join us after the 11am service for fellowship, food trucks, and children's activities.
